Yep, I just wrote that title. But upon looking at this thing, the Zyppah Rx is pretty hilariously styled. Green and black? Nice. Very slick, my friends. But I digress. These stop snoring mouthpieces are not exactly for wearing to the ball, now are they? They're about ensuring that you can sleep. Or more importantly, ensuring the person you sleep with can get a good night's sleep. And so we find ourselves reviewing it. Bob Eubanks In The House! It truly is hard not to love something big-upped by Bob Eubanks. I mean, this was the guy who hosted the madness that was the Newlywed Game! Great show. Great guy. But does the Zyppah Rx really do the job of quieting your snoring, or is it just another "As Seen On TV" product with more flash than substance? The Pitch So what makes the Zyppah Rx (weird name, I know) better than another stop snoring mouthpiece, like the Good Morning Snore Solution? (a review is here) Well, first of all, that price is nice. The Good Morning Snore Solution (uh, I'm going to call it GMSS from here on in, just to save time) is over a hundred bucks, while the Zyppah is decidedly under. In fact, it's $30 less. That's a good chunk of change, friends. Comfort Level I'll admit that I was surprised by how initially comfortable the Zyppah was. While in the photos the plastic looks a lot harder than that of GMSS, it in fact is just about the same degree of softness. What's more, I have to say that I was pretty seriously hesitant to believe that it, as Zyppah says, it self-molds to your mouth. I mean, really? How is that possible? But it actually does. In fact, it forms really nicely to your mouth. And the tongue stabilizer bit (uh, not sure they have a real title for the band at the back) is way less, uh, freaky than I thought it would be. I can definitely see how it keeps the tongue out of the way, and I was pretty surprised that it did so without invoking the "dreaded gag reflex". If you've read the site, you know that I'm not a huge fan of stuffing things in my mouth (which is why the SnoreLess Pillow was such a winner for me!), but mouthpieces do work for a lot of snorers, and for me as well. The Zyppah is a thousand times more comfortable than it looks, and frankly, at least according to my wife, works. It works well. My wife actually slept better when I used the Zyppah as opposed to the GMSS. Meanwhile, I liked the feel a lot better as well. Oh, and they do include a free guide to a better night's sleep, which is a nice bonus, and actually has some solid tips in it. I was pretty pleased by some of the things I read, and was actually shocked it wasn't just some throwaway document. I found a cool video that pretty much sums up how Zyppah works: The Downside Of Zyppah Alright, so there's always going to be a downside. As I've preached again and again, every solution is NOT going to work for every snorer. So I like it a little less that the trial is $9.95. I mean, no problem if it works for you, as you're saving a cool $30 over the GMSS, but if it doesn't, you're on the hook for the cash. Not a deal breaker, but it is nice that GMSS has a full money back guarantee. Hmm. And probably that Green/Black design. It's all a bit "Green Hornet" for me, but if it works, it works, I always say. And you can probably scare off intruders with it as well ;) Zyppah Rx Review – Stop Snoring Mouthpiece With An Edge was initially seen on snoring.mouthpiece.report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/products/zyppah-rx-review

People often ask for the expert advice of professionals when things are bothering them. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry especially when it comes to your health. You can’t just compromise your health because you were too afraid to ask the questions circling in your head. But when you have sleep issues, traditional doctors may not be the best experts to help you. Sure, they likely know a thing or two about sleep health and the body’s normal physiologic processes but you need to go somewhere else if you really need answers.
(Via: http://blog.cvn.com/after-20.5m-verdict-in-sleep-center-death-case-emory-sues-contractor-court-wire) It is not unusual to feel uncomfortable upon stepping inside the pristine environment of a sleep clinic fully knowing that you have to spend the night there under the watchful and trained eyes of professional sleep technicians. However, you need to sleep there for the night if you really have a serious sleep problem. The downside is that these sleep technicians may be knowledgeable and trained in what they do but they aren’t real doctors who know fully well how the human body works and may not understand how certain actions may exacerbate a certain health condition.
Well, you actually have no choice but to get checked at a sleep clinic if you constantly suffer from sleep apnea or insomnia perhaps. During your stay at the clinic, trained technicians will assess you on how your body react to sleep so that they can come up with an exact diagnosis. More often than not, a breathing problem is the main cause of sleeping problems and ordinary doctors aren’t that trained to distinguish it during routine medical check-ups. An overnight stay in these facilities isn’t cheap too. But there’s no point in suffering in your sleep if there are already available technologies to help you overcome these issues. Just make sure to inform your doctor and the technicians about existing medical conditions that may worsen during your stay or risk injury or death like this poor unfortunate case. Safety Issues With Sleep Clinics was initially seen on https://snoring.mouthpiece.report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/advice/safety-issues-with-sleep-clinics At the end of the day, the only comforting thought that helps you get from work to your home is your nice, soft bed and the hours you’d spend on it in deep slumber. We used to hate being told to sleep when we were younger because our then free spirited nature only wanted to explore the outdoors. Unfortunately, adult responsibilities are too much for us once we grew up that we long for the comfort of our beds and being able to sleep and wake up whenever we want to.
(Via: http://www.interaksyon.com/improve-sleep-quality-by-going-for-the-bed-that-feels-right/) The main factor in choosing a bed is whether you feel right when lying down on it. Stay away from brands where you end up with all sorts of aches and pains upon arising.
Other more innovative mattresses are now sold on the market today. They have high-tech features that help individuals get a good night’s sleep. For instance, they showcase thermoregulation features that help get rid of excess heat in your slumber.
Address snoring as well as other minor discomforts like joint and back pain by purchasing a bed that you can adjust so you sleep better at night. It’s all about comfort now when you go to sleep such as purchasing a mattress without that much cushioning to allow the neutral positioning of the spine. Moreover, make sure you limit technology use to outside the bedroom because they are the main cause of sleep deprivation these days. The blue light they emit is also detrimental to your health. Make sure you reserve the bed for just sleeping and sex. Those are the only two activities you can do in bed, so as not to mess up your sleeping pattern and affect your overall sleep quality. When you do that, you won’t have a hard time falling asleep in a bed that screams comfort all along. Why Beds Matter When You Sleep is available on Snoring.Mouthpiece.Report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/vitalsleep/why-beds-matter-when-you-sleep Exposure to light stimulates alertness. It’s the reason why we sleep at night – preferably with the lights turned off. Light in itself has a big impact to sleep health and quality. Your mind and body stay stimulated in its presence. It is okay if you are not about to sleep yet, but if you are, you might have a hard time drifting off to dreamland in the presence of artificial lighting. And as we continue to enjoy fiddling with technology during bed time, the blue light these gadgets emit prove to be harmful to human health too aside from pushing your bedtime even further.
(Via: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-sleep-daylight-idUSKCN18E23E) Researchers have also recently discovered the correlation between light exposure during specific hours in the day and its effect on overall sleep quality. Constant sleep deprivation leads to a poor immune system, metabolic disorders, mood swings, and even makes you more prone to accidents since your mind and body are not in tip-top shape.
(Via: http://vitalupdates.com/light-pollution-may-be-disrupting-how-your-body-functions/) Light pollution isn’t something you should take lightly. It disrupts your body’s normal circadian rhythm or sleep-wake cycle. In a lab study done on mice, health issues were also seen on the offsprings of test subjects who did not have the normal light-day and dark-night set-up. You need to remember that you need to prepare your body for sleep. You just don’t turn yourself on and off like a light switch. Your body will have a hard time drifting off to sleep when the light is still on in the bedroom. It is not actually just turning off the light right before sleep but even the dimming of the lights roughly an hour before bedtime. Make sure to hide your smart gadgets too, so you won’t be tempted to play with it until sleepiness takes over, which will probably take a longer time. If you are scared of sleeping in the dark, wearing an eye mask will do just as long as you don’t see any light and your body perceives it is sleeping time already. Sleep And Light: What’s Their Connection? is available on snoring.mouthpiece.report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/snorerx/sleep-and-light-whats-their-connection Sleep deprivation has elevated itself into a global health problem. It no longer comes as a surprise considering how obsessed almost everyone is with their smart gadgets. Moreover, our modern lifestyle prefers non-stop partying at night, eating greasy, fatty and sugary foods that make it difficult for one to sleep, late-night TV or online streaming binge-watching that makes sleeping on time impossible. As a result, you end up looking like a human panda – sporting dark undereye bags that are the result of long sleepless nights.
(Via: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/20/sleep-deprivation-link-obesity-research) Obesity is a growing problem and it predisposes people to a long list of health complications aside from reducing your self-esteem and ego to roughly the size of a peanut. Don’t be a part of the obesity epidemic and stay healthy by making a conscious effort to sleeping right and on time every night, if possible.
(Via: http://www.webmd.boots.com/sleep-disorders/news/20170521/sleep-loss-weight-gain-study) Many studies have proven how detrimental sleep loss is to your body image. If you are conscious of the way you look and don’t want to sport unsightly cellulite and layers of fat, you can do your body a favor by observing regular sleeping habits.
(Via: http://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Lack-of-sleep-can-cause-weight-gain-early-aging-11123889.php) To combat chronic sleep deprivation and the consequential weight gain, try your best to sleep and wake up around the same time each day and night. Sleep in total darkness to promote the body’s normal circadian rhythm. It’s also not advisable to eat a hearty meal right before bedtime. Also, minimize mental stimulation at night. Turn off your smartphone, so sleep will come naturally. Just think of the excess fats you’ll be gaining and the dark bags under your eyes you’ll be sporting when you always pull all-nighters. You’re not an owl. Allow your body to rest and relax, so it is ready for what lies ahead the next day or suffer the consequences of sleep loss. Weight gain is the least of your worries if you keep up this unhealthy lifestyle. The following article Lose Sleep, Gain Weight With Sleep Deprivation is courtesy of The Snoring Mouthpiece Report Blog via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/snorerx/lose-sleep-gain-weight-with-sleep-deprivation Sleeping is a welcome reprieve for all of us after a long day’s work. It’s what you look forward to the most once you get home from work or school. Sleeping plays a major role in normal human growth and development. Infants sleep almost all the time because they undergo rapid growth during the first year of life but your sleeping requirements continue to vary as you mature from childhood to adulthood. While we still need at least eight hours of sleep at night, we have other life obligations that take precedence over sleep.
Our innate curious and inquisitive nature can’t help but wonder what really happens to our body during sleep. It’s the reason why sleep clinics are there. Moreover, it gives us an understanding of any sleep condition we are suffering from, so the appropriate intervention can be prescribed.
(Via: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4067560-sleep-investing-back-basics) While sleep clinics help people improve their sleep health, the people behind them aims to make money too from the misfortune of others. It’s a good investment today when the world is already full of material stuff. It can get too stuffy at times that people can no longer get the well-deserved rest they need.
(Via: http://talkdailynews.com/global-sleep-testing-services-market-share-will-expand-till-2016-2024/) It may be a growing market but sleep clinics are still a fairly novel concept that is why it is not yet included in the medical coverage of some individuals. This is one of the setbacks of its growth. It is likewise a major challenge for people with legit sleeping issues to overcome. Despite all these challenges, we may still continue to see growth in this industry because sleep deprivation persists to be a big issue for both young and old. These facilities often come equip with the necessary equipment and gadget and trained staff to help you deal with your sleep woes, something you won’t see in conventional health settings. How Sleep Clinics Help You Deal With Sleep Issues See more on: The Snoring Mouthpiece Report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/vitalsleep/how-sleep-clinics-help-you-deal-with-sleep-issues Do you lose sleep each night? Are you addicted to technology? Have you been diagnosed with a sleep disorder yourself? If you answered yes to all three questions, then without a doubt you have sleeping issues. Meanwhile, there is another factor you need to include in your growing list of health risks: air pollution. It is not actually a new one because air pollution in itself predisposes you to a long list of pulmonary diseases for as long as you can remember.
(Via: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-05/ats-apm051517.php) While air pollution has always been a health risk, there was little to no link identified when it came to sleeping. However, recent studies reveal that exposure to air pollution has a negative impact to human’s sleeping patterns, after all.
(Via: http://morungexpress.com/15-20-delhi-private-school-students-sleep-apnea-aiims-study-says-2/) Another study regarding air pollution’s link to the prevalence of sleep apnea is also being conducted in line with this study. The sleep experts are doing their best to understand the reason for the increase in sleep apnea sufferers despite the young age of the students. Many have a hard time falling and staying asleep these days. It is not a comforting thought considering how complex life has become for all of us. The last thing we wanted was to get a good night’s sleep at the end of the day. It is what our tired mind and body need. If we don’t address it right away, we’ll be facing even more problems not solely related to our health, so better get to the heart of the matter now. Is Air Pollution The Reason You Are Sleep-Deprived? was initially seen on snoring.mouthpiece.report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/snorerx/is-air-pollution-the-reason-you-are-sleep-deprived Sleep should come naturally to all of us in a perfect world. However, the world is far from perfect and there is little you can do about it but to learn how to cope or else succumb to illness. It’s even more challenging to do so this time around because the world is cluttered with one technology after the other that you end up with little time for sleeping soundly at night.
(Via: https://futurism.com/4-gadgets-that-will-help-you-sleep-at-night/) In the past year or so, various gadgets in aid of sleep have made their way to the consumer market mainly because there is a growing demand for it. Many people are suffering from poor sleep that in turn affects performance. It is why it is never a great idea to drive or operate heavy machinery when lacking in sleep because the drowsiness may cloud your better judgment and put your life (and health) at serious risk.
(Via: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/ces-2017-best-sleep-gadgets-9567314) Aside from your busy schedule and numerous interests, too much tech use disrupts your body’s circadian rhythm. A normal sleep-wake cycle allows the body to perform restorative biologic processes that often happens at night, so the body is in peak shape upon waking up the next day. Technology becomes your friend or foe depending on how you use it. Use it right and you won’t have a problem dozing off once the lights are out. But if you have already been diagnosed with a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, using the gadgets mentioned above, as well as this, can supplement the medical management prescribed by your doctor and ensure that sleep is now the least of your worries. These Gadgets Will Lull You To Sleep was initially seen on snoring.mouthpiece.report via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/good-morning-snore-solution/these-gadgets-will-lull-you-to-sleep Even healthy adults experience some sleeping issues now and then. What worsens these problems is when tech use enters the equation. With a smartphone in hand, you willingly lose precious sleep each day. Aside from technology, sleep disorders are increasingly becoming common too. While we have long known about insomnia, it is sleep apnea that is grabbing our attention these days.
(Via: http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/content/news/Sleep-Apnea-treatment-options-422607614.html) The first thing you need to do is to consult a doctor or get tested in a sleep clinic to get the correct diagnosis. Conventional treatment often includes medications and the use of a CPAP machine. Otherwise known as continuous positive airway pressure, CPAP keeps your airways open using mild air pressure. Hence, your airway won’t collapse when you breathe with the help of the increase in air pressure. It’s the most common sleep apnea treatment and has been around for ages. Unfortunately, it isn’t the most convenient to use even though it’s supposed to be the best, so patients often stop using it weeks after starting treatment.
If you ticked CPAP off your sleep apnea treatment options, don’t lose hope yet because there are plenty of anti-snoring mouthpieces you can try. They may not be as effective as CPAP itself but they have been proven to deliver positive results and can be used in conjunction with other sleep apnea management. It works by realigning the jaw by moving the tongue as well as the soft palate that in turn improves air flow. These mouthpieces help in improving sleep pattern and in reducing the snoring frequency and loudness that most patients often complain about. There is no need to suffer from sleep apnea even further because you can now enjoy deep slumber and feel refreshed the day after with the help of this anti-snoring mouthpiece. No need to even consider surgery just yet because a snoring mouthpiece will do in correcting these structural deficiencies that lead to or worsens sleep apnea. While CPAP is the better option between the two, snoring mouthpieces also have their finer points that you can’t just ignore. If a CPAP isn’t working for you, you can always try a snoring mouthpiece or gadget before deciding to go under the knife. Which Is More Effective: CPAP Or Snoring Mouthpiece? was originally published on The Snoring Mouthpiece Report Blog via https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/uncategorized/which-is-more-effective-cpap-or-snoring-mouthpiece The days are longer now that there are distractions at home that keep you away from your sleep. Aside from working the entire day, you still find the time to keep yourself updated on your various social media accounts before calling it a day. At times, you can get too engrossed and forget the hours passing by. It’s no wonder that sleep deprivation is fast becoming a medical issue because more and more people don’t mind losing sleep because of their #FOMO.
Not all snorers have sleep apnea, though. It is why you should get yourself tested right away to confirm such a diagnosis.
(Via: http://www.belmarrahealth.com/new-device-detect-sleep-apnea-home/) You can do this at various clinics that have sprouted all over the country these days. The catch here is that you have to sleep in these sleep labs overnight so the sleep technician can assess you properly. Fortunately, recent innovations have introduced sleep apnea test kits that you can use at home by yourself. You save a lot of money doing this because you no longer have to pay for the center, the test itself, and the technician who will conduct the sleep test.
(Via: https://www.statnews.com/2017/01/23/sleep-apnea-home-tests/) Others try to shrug off the issue of sleep apnea rationalizing that it is one of those discomforts in life you just have to deal with. But that way of thinking no longer works now since we know more about its perils. While there is really no single solution that can address it, there are various management options that can at least reduce the symptoms without necessarily going under the knife. It’s why you need to get tested as soon as you can to be able to start treatment right away. And if you aren’t comfortable with the thought of sleeping in some sterile sleep lab with people watching your every move, try these at-home sleep apnea test kits that does the job without costing as much.
